So chim's bike is a little bit wheezy with just him on it. When my fat ass gets on the back, the thing tries way too hard to get to speed. So we are in the market for a new bike. Just for reference, his current bike is a 1994 Kawa Vulcan 500.
Requirements:
1. Able to cruise comfortably at 70mph with a rider on the back (I look dead sexy in black leather). Probably larger than 650cc
2. Short/small enough for a 5'4" frame to control
3. Decent gas mileage, can have a 200mi range.
4. Under $9000
I am thinking chim is looking for a classic cruiser, you know every fucking piece of shit that comes from Harley I don't mind that styling, I just don't like Harley.
Here are the choices I came up with:
Kawa Vulcan 900 Classic Custom
